Hocus Pocus (rewritten)

Cha. 3. The Demon At My Door

(Marvin's POV)

There he goes again, back and forth, back and forth.
I don't like it...
"Jack take a seat before you hurt yourself" I grab Jack by the arm and lead him back over to the couch. He's been pacing all night and it's stressing out the others.
The last thing we need is anymore stress tonight.

He tries to shake me off but submits. "What if he lashes out again?" Jack frets, taking a seat slowly.

"Jack, nothing is going to happen" I say, snapping my fingers: coffee starting to be prepared in the kitchen, thanks to a little thing I like to call magic.

"Please call me Seán. And how do you know that exactly? Nobody's talked to him for three years!" Seán frets, running his hands through his hair. I honestly feel bad for him, the stress is eating him alive.

I take a seat next to him and try to calm him down, trying to get his mind off of it with small talk But he clearly isn't interested.

"What if someone's hurt? What if he went rouge and this is all part of his plan!" I sigh, about to speak but Schneep beats me to it.

"Jack, I zthink you are getting a little vworked up over zis" Henrik butts in, who's curled up in front of the fireplace with Robbie, the zombie drawing with some crayons as he's rugged up in a blanket next to Schneep. Seán snaps his attention to the doctor.

"Jackie isn't here! Chase is late! and Anti is nowhere to be seen!" He springs up and starts to pace again.

Henrik lets out an audible groan, turning his attention back to Robbie and asking the zombie what he's drawing. JJ who's chilling on the sofa scribbling on his whiteboard also rolls his eyes. Both of them clearly done with trying to calm down the YouTuber.

I sigh and stand up, walking over to Seán and stop him from pacing.
"I can assure you, Anti's changed... He wouldn't of accepted to come if he's still-"
"-Evil?!" Jack butts in.
"..I was going to say have a different view on things" I say, snapping my fingers and making a coffee cup appear in my hand.

Seán locks his eyes with the mug, tiredly gawking at it. I internally smirk.
I lead Seán back over to the couch with a coffee, which works!
At least his love for dirty bean water hasn't changed.
Speaking of change, a lot has about Jack. He has brown hair now and even has piercings, honestly I mistook him for Anti when he knocked at my door.

Once I finally had Seán seated, I walked over and gave Jameson and Henrik their coffees.
Jameson holds up his whiteboard 'thank you chap!' while Schneep just thanks me.
Robbie however, seems confused by the gesture. Staring wide eyed at the cup that I made appear in my hand, I frown.

Schneep chuckles, "He doezn't drink coffee, buut if you're vwilling to make him a hot chocolate he'll drink zat" Henrik suggests.

I shrug and run my finger around the rim of the cup. I murmur the spell, snapping my fingers and the coffee changes into a steaming hot cup of coco with two marshmallows.

I go to hand the cup to Robbie again but he just stares up at me, his eyes all wide.
I would say it's curiosity but I honestly have no idea.

"W~ Wizard man!" The zombie slurs excitedly, making grabby hands. I look back at the little guy with a small smile, he's like a child. Actually, he could very well be a child...

Henrik chuckles and takes the cup from me, giving it to zoned out Robbie. "Sorry, he vwatched Harry Potter on ze plane" The Doctor ruffles the zombie's purple hair.

"Zat is Marvin" Henrik points to me and I give him a wave.
"K~ Kitty wizard!!" Robbie jumps, poking at my mask. Henrik laughs and he goes to correct him again but I wave it off.
